About
This off-site program engaged community members in interdisciplinary storytelling and helped them relate to the stories within the Many Wests exhibition. Session leaders invited participants to celebrate the original caretakers, memory makers, and boundary breakers in their communities. Attendees heard stories from others and shared their personal perspectives on works of art in the exhibition. They were also encouraged to tell stories through an artmaking activity that used comics and zines as inspiration.
